CVE-2021-1582Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unvalidated web UI input

Published Aug 25, 2021 · Updated Nov 7, 2024

Stored XSS in the web UI of Cisco APIC and Cloud APIC allows remote authenticated users to execute script in another user's browser. The web UI stores attacker-supplied input without adequate validation and later renders it in the interface; Cisco has not identified the affected field. Exploitation requires authenticated access and a user to view the poisoned content, allowing script actions in that session or access to sensitive browser-held data.
